OK, so regarding question 2, I see "net income" for these purposes doesn't mean after all tax and social insurance deductions, if the third page of the T1 is anything to go by, but please confirm if the full year is relevant, including the period for which I was non-resident. I think question 3...

Background: I arrived in Canada (Quebec) on 17 September 2012 and became a permanent resident on 24 November 2012 - I am sponsored by my spouse who lives (and always has lived) in Canada and we married in June 2011. So, I have had no income worldwide since I came to Canada and I want to...

[I already posted this in the London VO thread, copied/pasted here too for you guys] I can't believe it's over! I landed today at Blackpool Border Crossing (Lacolle / Champlain). It was very breezy and relaxing and everybody was so pleasant and informative. The most utterly bizarre thing...

I can't believe it's over! I landed today at Blackpool Border Crossing (Lacolle / Champlain). It was very breezy and relaxing and everybody was so pleasant and informative. The most utterly bizarre thing happened when I was entering the United States though. My husband and I decided to go down...

Re: Computer Error No, they accidentally issued visas to 150 people whose applications were supposed to be terminated along with the rest of the pre-2008 FSW backlog. Rather than say, "sorry guys, we weren't supposed to give you those visas, now piss off!" they're being kind and letting them in...

Oh I realised I had posted on the London thread but not in this one! I have my COPR now, going to go to the border on Saturday and activate my PR and hopefully also do some shopping in the US!

I've now restored it back a few versions to the last working version of the graphs, as there had only been minimal changes since then. Hoping I haven't messed anything up. I am not sure how to achieve adding more lines without knocking out the data that feeds into the graphs, I will leave it to...

ESTA is only required if you are arriving into the US by air or sea. If crossing the land border, you fill out the old I-94 form (ESTA replaced this for air/sea travellers) and pay $7 I think and then once you leave the US you have to surrender the form. (It's not clear to me whether you can...

I think I'll land on the weekend. I'm thinking I'll try to swing a shopping trip to Massena,NY and land when coming back. Hopefully I can get the US authorities to let me do that. I've heard they can be reluctant to let you come in and would rather you activate your Canadian status first. But...

I accept he perfectly well could be a scammer but I'm more of a 'benefit of the doubt' kind of person, I guess we'll just have to differ on that. Ultimately, it makes no difference to my life if this guy gets help from this forum for his application. He's paying the fees and he's the one who'll...

I think my COPR was arriving today but my faithful mailman once again decided to not bother attempting delivery to the house and just put a delivery notice in the mailbox. Will be picking it up tomorrow! Excited!

Why is everybody on this guy's ass? He doesn't say his first wife stayed in Pakistan the whole time while he became a Canadian PR, all he says is that he ended up back there eventually and their divorce was filed in Pakistan. I would have also thought it's possible to be separated with a spouse...

If you enter that tracking number into Canada Post's website you should get more detail of the status of the package within Canada.

Booo I'm still waiting for my COPR. I'm rather annoyed too as another parcel needing a signature was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday and the mailman didn't even bother to come to the house and try the doorbell, they just put the collection slip in our mailbox (one of those community...

My guess was Client Service Commitment Date. It occured in my notes as "CSCD" where someone was observing that they did not complete the field in the file, and then there's the field under the "FAMILY CLASS SPONSORSHIP" heading called "CSC Date", which in my file is blank. Here is some earlier...

I reckon you should do what CIC suggests. They should figure out what's going on. It's good that they've informed you about the possible extension of the medical. I was under the impression that they would only seek an extension if the expired medical is the only thing preventing PR from being...

I figure they just have a standard letter with standard paragraphs that they send to everybody, regardless of the circumstances. Just so they don't have to type up a very specific instruction for every single passport request. Maybe someone else can weigh in with details of what their passport...

Yeah that makes no sense to me at all. Maybe they need the passport/passport numbers of accompanying and non-accompanying dependants but NOT the passport/passport numbers of other non-accompanying family members (siblings, parents?). I don't know why anybody would be sending those things for...

Do you mean personal history like on form IMM5669? I recall they needed everything from age 18, and if age 18 was less than ten years ago then they needed a full ten years of personal history. In my case, I was 17 years old ten years ago so I had to give my personal history from the age of 17...

Congratulations Sweden, one of the nicest people on this forum! You deserve it! Wishing you lots of happiness!
